    PLEASE HELP ! Enabling RAID = Vanishing Data

    Ok I recently got a new system with 2 SATA drives. I had been meaning to configure the in a RAID mirrored effort, but just ot around to it today. One drive was empty, the other had about 35GB of project data on it. Stupidly I enabled RAID for both SATA drives in the BIOS without first...

    Ireland/UK ONLY !! Modified EV eliminator PA System

    This system consists of two 18"sub cabinets and two 15"mid/high cabinets, horn-loaded. I bought it about a year ago to use for a weekly big band gig I mixed at a venue with no system of their own. They have since bought their own system. It was used once a week for maybe eight months, and...

    Build me a DAW !!

    Ok, blue screen hassles have been driving me gaga... process of elimination brings me to the conclusion that my UAD cards are causing them...they just don't appear to be playing nice with my chipset. The only other possible thing left is faulty RAM, even though mem test found nothing...

    Finding the cause of blue-screens/crashes

    I'm thinking my RAM is the most likely culprit here... I will run a diagnostic when I get back to the studio tommorow. In the meantime, does anyone care to recommend some good products ? I was thinking of going the 2gb matched pair route if there is some future-proofing and increased...

    Finding the cause of blue-screens/crashes

    Thanks for replies all. Will try everything mentioned. Have had two more messages since on bluescreen. One names a file called hypaudio.sys, the other is a IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL effort. Gonna look into those now, but any more thoughts much appreciated. Nathan

    No, just a vague 'an unexpected error has occured...' type effort... :confused:

    I am sick of 44khz vs 96 khz argument from amatuers!

    Actually upsampling is a standard procedure before using higher-end digital processing tools, especially in the mastering stage, and I'm beginning to think that you are, indeed, a dickhead. Nathan

    I am sick of 44khz vs 96 khz argument from amatuers!

    If you have good mics, good converters, a real piano miced well, and good monitors then it will... especially if it's your own voice. A few experienced singer\songwriters I worked were quick to spot a difference, I guess it's their familiarity with their own voice\instrument. Over just a...

    I am sick of 44khz vs 96 khz argument from amatuers!

    I can hear a difference too, especially when using digital plugins such as the UAD-1 card and others. I can hear a substantial difference between busy mixes at 44.1 and 88.1 when there are digital plugs and alot of harmonically complex instruments. Is it worth the extra disk space, the heavier...

    I am sick of 44khz vs 96 khz argument from amatuers!

    That AES report was a recommendation for future practices, and a valiant effort to standardise things in an environment where technology ws rapidly advancing. Also nowhere in the whole paper does it even recommend that things should be tracked or mixed at a particular sample rate. The main...

    I am sick of 44khz vs 96 khz argument from amatuers!

    Man this is just not true. Who doesn't accept 44kHz\24bit ? Mixing engineers ? Mastering Engineers ? Producers ? There is still ALOT of medium to big name stuff tracked and mixed at 24\44.1...96kHz is becoming more of a standard, but it isn't there yet. Nathan

    Suggestions for open-air headphones for critical listening?

    Sennheiser's HD650 are the best I've heard, very comfy too. Expensive though. Heard great things about some of the open-backed Ultrasone cans as well. Nathan

    irish singer-songwriter looking for feedback! :)

    I didn't notice any, listening on PC speakers here tho... Seán: Just noticed you have a dissonant note on the last chord of 'Be the Dust'... sounds like you unintentionally left a low (A ?) open when playing the high final chord. PM me if you might be interested in a collaboration in a project...

    irish singer-songwriter looking for feedback! :)

    Reading '04 yes... and '03... good times... looks like the band is disbanding now though. Don't mind the live recordings, they were taken from the monitor desk, and they suck. We sounded good...honest :) I was the bands FOH engineer until being drafted in as a guitar player, and I ended up...

    irish singer-songwriter looking for feedback! :)

    Yeah that's more like it ! I like your voice and songwriting style actually, the following is just some nitpicking. The choice of reverb isn't quite doing it. Do a search for a post thread about digital reverb by Sonusman here or on therecordingproject.com, I can't remember which. Think of...
